SINTER has come and gone and the changing seasons since our last issue ha\'e naturally made the occupations of members ot the school \'ar. W'hen we last published, the chief topis o inlttrst to us were the comining Sydnev Junior Examination. andi th,, intball season, which was just commencing now we ha\v' 'rIllftI on till the Sy\dnevy Senior is no! far distant and it will be only I !n~ltter of a month or so, before the cricket season wbegins. T'he last term has tbeen a hbusy and a successful one for the whole "ho d,,.both as regards the school work and athletics. IJn the Sydlney Junior Examination, although we did not gain t'ithelI the Junior Prize or the Hyrnes Medtal, the dlisal)pointmlent \\WdI ,,pensatei( for in some egrete by a rtcor( nitlibr of call- <hlbtl,., ats we obtained 34 passes. coupled with til winning of tthe ;ritlhmIttic medal 'byT.

Ihls easontl's athletic teams have lt'en inure thtan utsually '"'1' -lul up to the piresent time and show every sign (, continulitng 8 Brisbane Grammar School Magasiie. so. The last cricket season closed before the Easter holida\ys s) far as the school was concerned, and consequently the first ttaml was compelled to forfeit three or four matches, and so did not come anywhere near to winning the premiership. The reason for the change of games was that the cricket season encroached upon thle Football, and it was thought that as the eleven had no chance oi winning its premiership, it would be more profitable for thim ,to start practice for the football season. The game has been taken up with even more than usual enthusiasm and the School team has so far proved invincible, winning all their grade match, besides defeating Maryborough and Ipswich Grammar School( and Gatton College. The second and third teams have not been so fortunate. Tennis has been more than usually popular during tit' la't few months, and at present the courts are always occupied out 01 school hours. The team, like their footballing brothers, ar, a yet unconquered and are almost certain of their grade premirship. The revival of the Junior Championship in the Interstate ToIurna- ments seems to have awakened fresh interest in the game, s, that a large number of boys have entered for that event. The cadets seem to be more popular than ever, and as a natural consequence shooting has gone ahead. The entry of two t''am' in the Lyster Match (one from A company and one from B), lhoiul'l prove beneficial to the school and improve the already ex'll'nt standard reached by our shooting team. We hear that a combined football team from the Sydney l'u'hli1 Schools is about to visit Brisbane at the end of the month. T'h visit will be a notable event in the history of the Brisbane S hliools. as it will be the first step towards bringing about a much ,'loser connection with them than we have at present; an end wlhiIh it is most desirable to attain, as it will be beneficial to us both lrt)ll an athletic point of view and otherwise. We are publishing in this issue photographs of the first tnt alll and tennis teams, and also of the officers of the cadets ai:I1 tlr successful candidates in the Sydney Junior Examination, f(o whi"h we have to thank C. C. Corrie. T ear Suiserirs. The Business Manager desires to acknowledge the reccil 1 ' large number of letters from subscribers, and also to thank th'ia for the interest they are taking in the Magazine.
